What ignited your pursuit for gender equality?

I grew up in an environment full of physical and emotional violence. I believe that no one should at any point in their lives undergo any form of violence. I began empowering young females, sensitizing them about their health and rights, encouraging them to use skills, and live independent lives.

Please share your biggest wins as an advocate for gender equality.

In the Batoke community, females were predisposed to sexual abuse, unplanned pregnancies, STIs, and unsafe abortions because they were unaware of their health and rights. I decided to start sensitizing them, raising awareness, and provided answers to their questions in a weekly SRH clinic.

Outside of your gender equality advocacy work, what do you enjoy doing?

Dancing, singing, indoor and outdoor sports, and reading.
